Baseball vs Harvard, Fri 3/7/25, 6:30 pm

0-6

You don't look so smart now Harvard, do you?

 

I'm glad we stopped the bleeding yesterday. Let's close this week out strong Gators with more run support! lol Go Gators!

 

Agree 100% @gatortenor37 — a lot of good things happened at the ballpark yesterday. Momentum and consistency, you just can’t get enough.

 

I hate it when baseball and softball are televised at the same time or even have overlap. Have to watch 1 game on the big scree TV , the other on my PC monitor. This weekend, softball gets the priority due to the critical nature of the series @ Texas A&M.

 

We're one triple shy of having half as many as they do. They're probably making jokes about us on their baseball board.

Go GATORS!

They’re probably plenty smart, but they may not be very good at baseball.

 

Get the bats going again.

I would still give Clemente a shot on Sunday. With control he's devastating. Came up pretty big for us in the post season last year.

 

Havard's strikeout rate is .341; their BA is .210. They have 62% more strikeouts than hits. In fairness, one of the four teams they've faced has a winning record.

And pretty much the only option....who else we gonna roll out there at this point?

 

Harvard is bad. Really bad. They currently sit #288 of 307 in RPI and went 13-26 last year in a weak conference. They might well be weakest series opponent in 10+ years. (That said, RPI #287 is Portland University, who has pitched a perfect game this year... there are no guaranteed wins.)

Warren Nolan predicts the following effects on the Gators' RPI from tonight's game:
Win: -178 points (i.e.; RPI drops by 0.0178)
Loss: -412 points

 

But has Portland University hit any triples this year?

 

Good call, 74! There is at least one other institution out there that has not hit a triple yet.

Go GATORS!

I have a theory that he’s going to start against FSU. Not a full workload but maybe 3 innings or one time through the order kinda thing.

 

Not a fan of Yost leading off, he has the worst OBP on the team (yes, worse than Evans and Wilson). He deserves to be in the everyday lineup though.
